Harry Potter Party – Part 1 (The Invites)

This past weekend my friend Destiny & I threw a Harry Potter Halloween party. We had been tossing the idea around for months, but in September we finally nailed down a date and got to planning. There are so many elements to this party that I am going to be making separate posts about them. In this post, I am just going to detail the party invitations. I haven’t decided yet if I’m going to offer the blank template for free on here..we will see!

Pinterest turned out to be a huge help, as many people have pinned pictures of Harry Potter parties, so a lot of our ideas came from there. Destiny volunteered to be in charge of food, and I was in charge of decorations (since it was at my house) and invitations.

For the invites, I knew I wanted to do some sort of Hogwarts acceptance letter along with an invite card detailing the party. I found lots of templates online, but none of them were quite what I wanted so for the most part I made my own.

Each guest received a personalized double-sided letter with the envelope printed on the back. The back of the envelope I downloaded here and the rest was created by me.

Since I obviously couldn’t mail an envelope like this, I put it in a larger cream colored envelope along with the party details card:

Everyone really loved the invites, and they were definitely one of my favorite parts of the party!
